Talk about high prices.......we bought our Thanksgiving dinner at our local grocery deli....... [View all]

we also bought dessert, one piece of pumpkin pie, and two slices of cheesecake from the bakery area. Our dinner was very good, and when I opened the container for the pumpkin piece of pie I see it’s 2.99!!!!!!!!!! FOR ONE PIECE OF PUMPKIN PIE $2.99!!!! I never really pay much attention to the total bill when shopping and I guess I really didn’t pay attention to the bakery total either. I just pay it. Then when I did see the price for one piece of pie, I guess it really hit me at how expensive it was.

My experience as well. 2.99 for a slice of pie of cake is what I have seen for some years. Midnight Writer Nov 2022 #11

It might not cost that much for me to make my apple pie. A big one too. brewens Nov 2022 #8

That doesn't seem that pricey to me. Laffy Kat Nov 2022 #9

Don't forget someone had to make the pie. Oven used electricity, etc. Diamond_Dog Nov 2022 #10
